Features: The Secret of the Cards interprets the meaning of the world and humanity through fairy tales and allegories. In its rich and engaging fairy tale plot, people are subtly guided into contemporary hermeneutics and linguistics. The Secret of the Cards uses allegories to tell larger allegories, and even the essence of the world is an allegory. It is no longer just philosophy but also excellent literature; Jostein Gaarder is becoming increasingly brilliant. The Secret of the Cards can be included among classic works. It is a life philosophy woven from a series of thought experiments. Reading it makes one unwillingly fall into the flow of good and brave thinking, searching and exploring. Like Sophie's World, it is also a philosophical work rich in literary charm.
